Chapter 152 Summary
(Monthly ticket adds more updates...)
The two of them went to a noodle shop and ordered two bowls of noodles.
Su Lun asked for two cloves of garlic and ate them with noodles...
Shen Changlin couldn't understand. Su Lun saw him staring at the peeled garlic clove in her hand and handed it over in a friendly way: "Do you want it?"
"…No."
Shen Changlin decisively refused...
“If you eat noodles without garlic, the taste will be half as bad!”
"Half less is half less," Shen Changlin asked doubtfully: 'You didn't do any interviews in the afternoon?'
"No..." Su Lun chewed halfway, and then said: "I have an interview tonight...it's okay, I'll take two more Yida pills later!"
"You can do it!"
NMG’s tomboy…
Suddenly remembering something, Shen Changlin asked her: "Are you responsible for the TV series version of "The Left Ear"?"
"No, I still have to study "The Hurry Year"..."
"I suggest you take it and find a director you trust to operate it. You can also name yourself as a producer... you can make some money."
"Just like "33 Days of Love"?"
"Yes!" Shen Changlin added: "You can set up a studio and produce the TV series "Left Ear" in the name of the studio..."
From the perspective of film and television drama creation, compared with the film adaptation of novels, the difficulty of adapting movies into film and television dramas is obviously much lower.
On the one hand, based on the structural content of movie plots, the plot expansion of film and television dramas is more operable.
On the other hand, the movie's box office has also tested the market acceptance of the work's subject matter, and market feedback can be appropriately predicted, which in a sense has successfully reduced risks.
"The TV series "The Left Ear" is difficult to change into a series with more than 20 episodes..."
"Then make it an 8- or 13-episode miniseries. Anyway, we will cooperate with Sohu Video. Why do I suggest that you name yourself? Because of "The Year in a Hurry", I also want to cooperate with the video platform. I will make a web series first, and then Into a movie!”
Su Lun nodded to indicate that he understood...
…
Back at the company, the planning department has already brought over the copywriting summarized by "Zuo Er", which is a successful experience...
Specifically mentioned the two keywords marketing + publicity...
Shen Changlin briefly looked through it and made no comment.
"The Left Ear" was a hit. It was the right time, the right place, the right actors, and good publicity. Moreover, the movie was not really without merit - an ordinary family background setting, a simple and cruel youth story. …
For youth films, especially those with popular original works, the characters are higher than the story, and the atmosphere is higher than the plot.
To be honest, if two imported Hollywood films hadn't blocked the way, Shen Changlin really thought that he might have a box office of 600 million!
The phone rang. Yang Fan called. The Berlin Film Festival announced that "Search" has been shortlisted for the main competition!
"I see!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Changlin suddenly wanted to write something.
Opening Weibo, he first posted a paragraph: ""Search" was shortlisted for the Berlin Main Competition. I am very happy. Although the probability of winning is very low, it is my first time to be shortlisted for the top three in Europe..."
Then he wrote another paragraph: "The Left Ear" has been a hit, and many people have asked me to evaluate it. I have always been reluctant, because it is inevitable that I will brag about myself. Now that it is about to be released, let me just say a few words.'
"First, director Su Lun's style is very unique, a bit close to Shunji Iwa. The overall story is cruel and youthful, but the temperament is still fresh and gentle. As a director's debut, style awareness is obviously more important than the style itself, and the director completely passes the mark on this point;"
"Secondly, from a technical perspective, there is basically nothing wrong with "The Left Ear". The overall performance of the actors is successful and on point, and the photography is excellent. Whether it is exterior or interior scenes, day or evening, they are still very careful.
There are several night scenes in alleys, and there are simpler shooting methods, but the director and cinematographer still chose relatively complicated angles with depth and movement. At this time, you can see the lighting in the entire picture, just look at the position of the light source.
With the level of light, you know this is not a shoddy play."
"Finally, the play is also the story. It has been criticized by many people. Let me talk about this separately. The story always comes first. I agree with this, especially for commercial films!
But sometimes there are changes. The original work of "Zuo Er" is not very well written. This is an author's introspection. When I wrote "Zuo Er", my writing style and writing style can't be mentioned, but fortunately I
It’s quite talented, and it focuses on portraying the characters, so even if many readers have forgotten the story of "Left Ear", they still remember Li Yi, Li Ba La, Zhang Yang, Jiang Jiao, Xu Yi..."
"Director Su obviously did the same thing when adapting the script. The storyline served more of the different characters rather than the transitions between the plots. Therefore, there were some things that professionals didn't approve of, but the audience, especially the fans of the original work, praised them.
A confrontational situation!”
"I see that many people in the industry are confused and feel that "Left Ear" is not worthy of such a high box office. I have reservations... I personally think that "Left Ear" is a successful experience from a production and commercial perspective!"
"Of course, people don't like it, and I can understand it. After all... this is something I wrote seven years ago. At that time, I was still confused about whether to go to Peking University or Tsinghua University. Harvard is also good..."
"Finally, I want to say something: "The Left Ear" is one of the first domestic youth films targeting the post-90s audience. The wave of youth films will definitely start. I would like to share two opinions, which can be regarded as some experiences:
First, the mainland’s movie audience is getting younger, and there is currently no sign of slowing down. In the future, those in their early 20s, or even under 20, will become the decisive buyer group in the movie market. Therefore, don’t shoot those inexplicable plots.
Don’t base your aesthetics on the audience’s aesthetics, don’t be arrogant, the audience won’t buy it, think more about your own problems!”
Secondly, the model of original best-selling novel + new actors can be used, but it is best not to rely too much on it, because the audience’s aesthetic matures very quickly!”
"In addition, "The Thing in the Palm" will be broadcast tomorrow. I hope everyone will support me, and I also hope everyone likes the new image I designed for Lao Hu!"
…
As soon as the two Weibo posts were published, a lot of people responded.
The treatment is different. There are very few comments about "Search". Most of them are "Congratulations", "The boss is awesome" or "When will it be released..."
There are many comments about "Left Ear".
Most of them are messages of support - this is normal. Check out Zhang Jiajia's messages. Even on the day "The Ferryman" was released, the message was "Lao Zhang, I saw the movie, it's not that bad. Come on, we support you."

Of course, it’s 2011, and we haven’t become a fandom yet. Shen Changlin’s Weibo messages have a lot of criticism, but they are very pertinent. For example, the ID ‘Mao Yue’: ‘Old Shen, you have started a bad trend. You yourself are
It is said that "The Left Ear" is not suitable for adapting into a movie, and it has to be adapted. Many novels are actually not suitable for adapting into movies. The dimensions are different, and it may not matter when you read it, but it may be embarrassing when you see it performed in real life... What's even more embarrassing is
, I heard that many youth novels are going to be adapted!'
'Old Shen, I forgive you this time. Next time you participate in a project like this again, I will not donate the movie tickets!'
'I really didn't expect that "Left Ear" could be filmed. After watching it, it was just as I imagined. The plot is so bloody and contrived!'
Chapter completed!
